Nothing real issues from the American press

Paul Craig Roberts takes a hard shot at U.S. press in Counterpunch:

Nothing real issues from the American press, which is about demonizing Russia and Iran, about the vice presidential choices as if it matters, about whether Obama being on vacation let McCain score too many points.

The mindlessness of the news reflects the mindlessness of the government, for which it is a spokesperson.

The American media do not serve American democracy or American interests. They serve the few people who exercise power.


Many others feel the same.
